Most developers on here don't seem to like simple things. Anytime you come up with something that is extremely elegant, reliable, and easy to implement and use, they come right back at you with something convoluted, messy, and garish, for no good reason.

Oh, that sounds great, girly, but those are rooky codes. We need to pump that code up. Let's add some doo-dads, transpose it to the third dimension, add a landing port for Superman, rewrite it in Rust...

They just get off on everything being complicated because that is more impressive to other developers. Why write 5 lines of code when you could write 104710 lines, KWIM?

Besides, if they just wrote the same 5 lines you did, then they would be _reusing your idea_ which is apparently the absolute horror. I mean,

*Obvious girl code cooties are obvious.*

I like to think that I would prefer the opposite: concise and easy to read

Not a girl thing. The hired consultants did the same thing to our team. In my situation I was forced to implement the convoluted solutions. The saying is as old as time. Money makes the world go round.

This is why I assembled a microframework for the web that doesn't suck https://github.com/TekkadanPlays/spore Outside of JavaScript tho, idk, lol. Rust is great for networking but doesn't belong in a lot of stacks, imo.

True story. Most coder writes thousand lines of code that can be replaced by a ten line bash script

it’s easier to over-complicate things than to keep it simple, stupid. not just with code either.

Men like to show off their skills. I think its because we don't have breasts.
